Pesticides Killing Bees - Petition

Bayer has sued the European Commission to overturn a ban on the pesticides that are killing millions of bees around the world.

Bayer and Syngenta, two of the world's largest chemical corporations, claim that the ban is "unjustified" and "disproportionate." But clear scientific evidence shows their products are behind the massive bee die-off that puts our entire food chain in peril. A huge public push won this landmark ban only months ago - and we can't sit back and let Big Pesticide overturn it while the bees vanish.

Wild herbs are the preferred food of hares during the summer months and these plants depend on bees for pollination as symbolised by the beautiful painting below by Ros Farrell:
